Paninaro Lyrics

[Verse 1: Chris Lowe]
Passion and love and sex and money
Violence, religion, injustice, and death

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2: Chris Lowe]
Girls, boys, art, pleasure
Girls, boys, art, pleasure

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3: Chris Lowe]
Food, cars, travel
Food, cars, travel, travel
New York, New York, New York
New York

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh

[Post-Chorus: Chris Lowe]
Armani, Armani, Ar-Ar-Armani, cinque
[Interlude]

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh
Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh

[Post-Chorus: Chris Lowe]
Armani, Armani, Ar-Ar-Armani, cinque

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh
Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh

[Interlude: Chris Lowe]
I don't like country-and-western
I don't like rock music and…
I don't like, I don't like rockabilly or rock 'n' roll particularly
Don't like much, really, do I?
But what I do like, I love passionately


[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh
Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh
Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh

[Bridge: Chris Lowe]
You, you're my lover
You're my hope, you're my dreams, my life
My passion, my love, my sex, and money
My violence, religion, injustice, and death
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus: Neil Tennant & Chris Lowe]
Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh (Don't like much really, do I?)
Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh
Paninaro

[Outro: Neil Tennant]
Paninaro, oh, oh, oh

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
